[ Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?

First fandom?

God dammit Yamino. First you make the entire Adventure Time Mathematical thing much much worse. Then you helped fuck over Derpy Hooves for MLP people. Now your butthurt over the Finn/Fire Princess/Bubblegum triangle.

Fuck you, Your headcanon isn't canon. Stop being enough of a BNF to potentially shit on this too and go work on your pregnant nun-shit instead of opening your mouth.

And I hope Marcelene gets a boyfriend, just to fuck with you!

context? links? i've no idea wtf you are talking about

I do not get their appeal.

They just seem rather bland, pedestrian to me. I don't see why yamino is the most annoying ever, they're not that bad they're just another boring and typical fandomer.

Can I just add that I think it's pretty disgusting how Yamino goes on about how appropriation is bad (among other things), yet she totally appropriates Catholicism for her creepy webcomic about a pregnant nun.

I just can't take her seriously with her SJW issues because of that.

SA

Wait... does Yamino go by 'they' as a pronoun?

Mea culpa anyhow!

She's Catholic and was raised in a Catholic school, taught by nuns.

Do you even know what appropriation means.

It doesn't count! Just like how it doesn't count if you're a disabled person who dislikes Derpy!

Lost me at "helped fuck over D***py Hooves"

no, fuck you, that was offensive as fuck and anyone who uses that name is an ableist asshole.

DERPY WAS MADE UP. IT HAD NO MEANING TILL YOU HELPED AFFIRM ONE. FUCK YOU FOR APPROPRIATING NONSENSE INTO SOMETHING OFFENSIVE, YOU RETARDED DERP.

nayrt but

Let me guess. You're a) twelve years old and b) actually believe the Bronies who claim that South Park "made up" the word derp and that it never existed before then. You know, in that episode in which a bunch of South Park dudes started saying "herp herp a derp" because they were supposed to SOUND LIKE THEY WERE RETARDED. Nope, that has nothing to do with mocking people with disabilities at all!

Here's a hint: "Derp" and "Derpy" were around for at least a decade before South Park used the word "derp."

Slang existed before the internet, you know.

And yes, "derp" originated as a term to mock people with disabilities.

I tried to say this last time this came up on F!S. I was told I shouldn't take offense because it wasn't made up for me personally.

NA

What, this one? I'm not seeing the inherent slam against disabilities in a bunch of non-affected nonsense speech meant to mock the interchangeable stupidity of Rob Schneider movies.

It's not non-affected. And the point of that joke isn't just that Rob Schneider makes interchangeable movies, but that he's an idiot too. I mean come on, he even says "derpee derpee dumb." Ha ha, Rob Schneider is retarded.

Look, when you want to mock somebody for always saying or doing the same thing, you use "blah blah blah" or "yadda yadda yadda" or whatever. But when you want to mock somebody and imply that they're a moron as well, you use "herrr derrr" or "herp derp" or "duuuuuhhhhhh". And why do we use that speech to imply that somebody's an idiot? Because that's also the speech used to mock and impersonate people with cognitive (and sometimes other) disabilities. So when you impersonate somebody with "herp derp" or "duuuuuhhhhhh" then it's the same as calling them retarded. Trey Parker and Matt Stone understand this. That's why they used "derp derp dumb" to mock Rob Schneider. That's why the joke works.

I can't believe I actually have to explain the jokes in South Park to somebody, but here we are.

So I guess all the time my bullies kept using it to make fun of my disability was all in my head, huh?

Or are you gonna repeat the "it wasn't made up for you personally so it doesn't count"-bullshit anons did last time I said this?

I'm going to assume that you're one of the people who believes that South Park made up the word, too. And what totally boggles me about that argument is how many people missed the point of the joke when South Park used that word. Missed the point of the joke by a mile.

Here's the joke: "Herp herp a derp" is how retarded people speak. That. was. the. joke.

It's a moot point anyway since "derp" existed long before South Park. But frankly I think it's alternatively hilarious and sad that so many butthurt Bronies are desperately trying to use South Park to argue that "derp" has nothing to do with disabilities when they're apparently too fucking stupid to even understand the joke that South Park was making.

OP is probably trolling but just to clarify for any confused passer-bys:

1. Yamino had nothing to do with Derpy Hooves. Nothing. Months before the offensive episode aired, she happened to reblog two posts from her friend (who is disabled) about why she didn't like the term 'Derpy'. That was it. After the shitty episode aired and then later was changed for the better, butthurt Bronies decided that this was ALL YAMINO'S FAULT (even though she said nothing about the issue during the time when the actual controversy erupted, was just a fan of the show and had zero influence on Hasbro's decisions, and had nothing to do with the changes that Hasbro made) and rapetrolled her deviantart so much that it resulted in literally hundreds of pages of comments.

2. Derpy Hooves was not "fucked over." The show was edited so that her name *isn't stated at all* and so that her voice sounds cute and funny rather than like what those assholes on the playground sound like when they do their impressions of "retarded" kids. These changes were approved by Amy Keating Rogers, who wrote the script for the episode - and who was horrified when she heard the original voice that they gave to the pony. Either way, it's not like Hasbro gave Derpy a different name or anything. Now with the edit, she has no official name. So if you want to keep calling her Derpy you can keep calling her Derpy, and for those of us who don't like the word, we can call her something else. Plus her voice is actually cute now, so everybody wins. This is in no way shape or form "fucked over."

3. I don't even know what the OP is going on about the Adventure Time stuff. Yamino likes the Finn/Fire Princess, Finn/Bubblegum, and Bubblegum/Marceline pairings - and has drawn fanart for all of them. If there's anywhere where she's expressed butthurt over pairings that she likes getting mushed into a love triangle, I'm not seeing it.

thanks

confused anon from up thread.

thanks.

I would like to add that Amy Keating Rogers also stated that she has a son with intellectual disabilities, and she was absolutely mortified when she learned 'Derp/Derpy' was a slang word for 'retarded', and that Derpy Hooves was/could be considered a stereotype of intellectually disabled persons.

The pissed off Bronies went after Yamino solely because she's known for being *very* outspoken on certain issues, the Derpy name being one of them. All while proving they can talk the talk of 'love and tolerance', but cannot/refuse to practice what they preach.

And when you have people from people who work on the show telling a fanbase to lay off someone, then that fandom doesn't deserve nice things anymore, imo.

Guess what? The bronies fucked it over fantastically by themselves! I don't like Yamino, but all those attacks solely because someone thought she alone had power to change things is pathetic at best. The attacks on anyone who disagreed and Hasbro did not help either.

Also? Stop pretending Teh Grey Strabimus One will ~help the disability movement~ when she's just another tired stereotype!

(Ablist or not I always thought "Derpy" sounded fucking ugly and non-fitting for the FiM world.)

You're trolling, right? Because Marceline already had a boyfriend.
